We're impressed. :o Now cough up a recipe! }(

[TedLinden]

OK coughing up here. I tend to cook improvisationally so specific measurements aren't really my thing.

 

Zest an orange and spread the zest out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place sheet in an oven preheat to 250. Turn off the heat and leave the sheet in the oven over night.

 

In the morning place the dehydrated zest in a coffee grinder with 1 tbsp kosher salt and grind to a fine powder.

 

Fine chop a shallot and a clove of garlic.

 

Dredge a tuna steak in the orange salt powder.

 

Heat a sautee pan with olive oil. Sear each side of the tuna steak and then place on an oven safe dish and put into a 400 oven.

 

Add shallot and garlic to hot pan and sautee briefly. Pour about 1/2 cup of white wine into pan and reduce. Add 1 tbsp of butter and melt into sauce.

 

While sauce reduces, heat olive oil in skillet. Add washed spinach and sautee till wilted. This shoudn't take long.

 

Arrange wilted spinach on center of plate. Place tuna steak on top of spinach. Garnish with more orange salt powder.

I used to think a recipe I once saw for Apricot-Glazed Spam was the nadir of American cookery, but it's obviously been beaten by this casserole recipe! It's just. . . awe-inspiring! :+

I haven't cooked in a great while, but during the holidays my cousin quipped that I should create my favorite rice salad. I have fogotten the specific measurements (How could this be, fellows?:-))

 

So here goes: 1 pkg. of white rice, 1 or 2 green peppers, 1 or 2 red peppers, diced black olives, and lightly toasted almonds (very, very small pieces) (I'm having a mental block for words. :-)), and Italian dressing

 

Cook rice. Let cool. Add veggies and the almonds. Stir or mix together. Sprinkle some It. dressing in this mixture as desired. Let sit in the fridge prior to lunch or din din. Serve on a bed of greens or not...

 

Many of you guys are creative; you decide on its presentation.

 

It's an easy yet tasty concoction!!! :-)

OK - I'm air head...... teach me to post 5 minutes before a client arrives.

 

Pour the sauce in the pan over the tuna on the plate prior to service. Also season the spinach with salt and pepper after adding it to the sautee pan.

Years ago I worked with teens. I was visiting one of my charges at his placement and they asked me to stay for dinner. The tuna casserole mentioned above is what they served. It was the first time I had tried it and soon after I had cooked it myself substituting the chips for bread crumbs and mushrooms for peas and carrots.

 

Just before it was finished I would put a little cheddar cheese on top of the bread crumbs and placed it under the broiler for a few minutes, yum.

 

It must be close to 15 years since I have had this dish and your post brings back so many memories. I will cook it if I have time this weekend.

OK - here's what I had for dinner tonight.

 

Sear two pork chops in olive oil to the color you like. Remove to a plate.

 

In the same sautee pan, toss in a diced onion, 2 tbsp balsamic vineagar and 1/2 cup of apple sauce. Stir well together, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Replace chops in sauce and turn once or twice to cover with sauce. Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes, turning at least once.

 

Had this with peas tossed with butter and olive oil and toasted pecan halves.

I've never laughed so hard at a Hooboy listing. This is hilarious.

[Guest ncm2169]

Ever use green onions (scallions) instead of regular onions, and dry vermouth, sans the apple sauce? :9 The peas and pecans sound awesome. :7

[TedLinden]

I've done vermouth with pork in the past and its great. I just don't have any lying around.
